Thick skin
01:12

|

you'd better put on your thickest skin
this is gonna fuck you up - it's gonna break you down
I've seen it really cause some hurt before
fair warning! - don't get burned, don't say I didn't warn.
time to put on your thickest skin
I honestly don't think you will handle this
I've watched it grind a man down into dust & I can see from the look in your eyes - in your eyes - you haven't suffered much.

Times are tough
times are so fucked up
don't wanna think about it now, all is fine
some bones I buried in the yard, all is fine
that's well...
when times get rough, you'd do well to ignore them
don't even think about it now, all is fine
some curse I buried in the yard, all is fine
that's well...

salomé

Salomé,
will you dance for me?
will you have my head?
I'm no good, but we should really meet - we should
Salomé,
devour me, cut off my head, kiss my lips & cut off my head
Salomé,
I offer up a taste of love from my severed head
dance for me
I'm an idiot to see you dance before I die -just before I die.
you cut off my head
I love you, I know you'll treat me good
you cut off my head

I could write a luv song
02:05
|
|
||
well, u know I get a kick outta that
that's truly fascinating, I must tip my hat
I could write a luv song with ur name
u'll never ever hear it
won't write it anyway, but I COULD write a luv song...
hangin' from the moon again
be nice to die right here whispering ur name
I could die right here in space
I could write a luv song

misery loves company, we're told
but you really wanna be alone on the low road
spend all day in bed on the low road
endless days, spend 'em all in bed
what goes on in your head? are you all right?
how far can you trudge on the low road?
I'd join u in bed on the low road
I'd crawl in the mud on the low road

got a 1 way ticket
01:45

|

(lyrics by rachel gordon)
I got a 1 way ticket
thought you would spot me for the ride back
turns out I couldn't make it in the 1st place
you didn't want me to see your face
to see you in your new state where you can't even stand up straight
just shit outta luck, you don't even know what's up
they say: Heavy lies the crown
I never know what they're talking about
I think you brought this on yourself
and now you need the touch from the divine
did you ever even have a spine?

It's so easy 4 u
02:52
|
|
||
If it were possible to feel differently for you
believe me, man, I would...
you drove me to this place with you with a pitchfork in your hand
wild smile melting off your face, oh man...
and I don't wanna take that ride again
it seems easy to you, your evil just comes natural
we both say, "now's the time!"
we both teeter on a blurry line
we will both crash & burn if we take one more head-trip down that road
and I don't wanna form that bond again
it's so easy 4 u...
inflicting pain comes natural, like an indifferent wave of hands
it's cruel & ill-conceived & it comes natural
and I don't wanna form that bond again

I wish you'd hung around
03:54
|
|
||
too bad you left early
I'm so sad, I wish you would have hung around
come hang around
I say I'm sick of symbols
why'd you leave? I'm stranded.
You shoulda hung around
hung around
smash it up, smash everything
I smash my brains against the bricks
I just hang around
wish you'd hung around
I've asked all the questions
I've erased the whole damn ending & you hung around
hung around
I say I'm sick of symbols
I'm so sad, I wish you woulda just hung around.

Lucky stars
02:42
|
|
||
on the roof to count my Lucky stars - I try to notice them
I pick them from the sky - put em in a jar
-so I can hold the flame of Lucky stars
Night sky is the church where I kneel
I pray for all my stars
sifting thru a jar of eternal flames
a prayer for all my stars, Lucky stars
a prayer for all my stars again!
a prayer for all my stars again!!

Found it in the street
02:06
|
|
||
I found it in the street
I held it in my hands
you gotta see this!
would you believe your eyes?
my whole world's gonna change!
do you accept change?
she'll always be there laughing all the time
Found it in the street
think of those odds!
...just right there in the street !!
oh my...

trying 2 find u
02:24
|
|
||
calling out 2 me, calling my name
Always whispering & perched upon my shoulder
I'll answer u when u call my name
I'll spend my life 2 seek & find u
I'm bound to u in burning flames
spend the rest of my life in a daze trying 2 find u
I'll come 2 u when u call my name
blow out my veins trying 2 find u
I'm bound 2 u in burning flames, in smoke & haze

can u even be seen ?
03:37
|
|
||
did I ever know u?
did I ever see ur face?
can u even be seen ?
was it really gone for good?
did I even catch a glimpse?
did it even begin?
did it ever begin?
did I ever know u?
could u ever be known?
don't know how to get in
did it even begin?
was it really gone for good?
could u ever be known?
did I ever know u ?

I see u there
02:17
|
|
||
I see you, sure...
A dream, an unseen key, weren't in my soul before
my dear friend made of sand,
I woke up again, I guess that I'm alive
oh, man...
Any way I turn my head - I guess I'll see you there now.
La La La La La
now my entire view - that's where I see you
I see you everywhere, you're in the fabric
I see you out of my blue, I swear I saw you
I see u there

say, "goodbye"
01:59
|
|
||
spent the day way down the tubes with you
found I had to say, "goodbye"
bittersweet little morsel memory dies
why did it die?
I don't wanna say, "goodbye"
spent the day in the depths of the tubes with you
I found I had to say, "goodbye"
spent the day in a hole with you
I'm here with you and I don't wanna say, "goodbye"

under the floor
01:35
|
|
||
descending to the calm of the floor
descending 'til I'm under the floor
I'm underground
the dark is just too strong for my light
I'm just a puff of smoke under the floor
sweet dreams to me, goodnight
under the floor, I gotta sing about it !!!
sometimes I find I'm under the floor just about as low as I can dig
and like a vacuum in a tunnel, I'm vacant when I find me way down under the floor.

call me "Miss Smith"
03:31
|
|
||
many heavy hours now, I lie in my bed picking at the stitching of some ragged thread
all my thoughts are vague & scattered in my burnt out head and I wish I were someone else, but I'm me
just me.
many heavy days headed into the sun burnt me out, I should cash in.
call me "Miss Smith" and cash me in
call me anyone else but me
not me
wish I were someone else sometimes...

passed my prime
01:24
|
|
||
I feel I'm past my prime
and I hope the rest of life won't pass me by the way I passed my prime
I tell me, "this is fine..."
give me proof I'm alive
don't pass me by the way I passed my prime
and I hope the rest of life won't pass me by the way I passed my prime

hooves
02:36
|
|
||
used to be a horse
mane long & hooves
used to be run wild
used to be run wild
used to gallop too, mane long & hooves
pranced through the endless days on hooves
years of running wild on hooves
used to be run wild on hooves
used to be on hooves
used to gallop too, mane long & hooves
pranced through the endless days on hooves

Life ain't real anymore
03:05
|
|
||
I don't mean to be so bleak anymore & I dig in the ground for a buried smile, but I'm digging with my hands & you're rushing me & I don't need this, can I just go home?
the fact is, I can't see anymore, I can't feel anymore & you bind my hands
all that's in my hands
all that's below
all that I held onto
all I held onto
& I turn around & dig & I don't know what the fuck I feel anymore
Life ain't real anymore

her car
05:10
|
|

there's a picture in her car fading, hey.
there's a picture in her car
there's a photo in her car that's gray now
something lost within her car
there's a pocket in her coat flung to the empty backseat floor of her car
